Preparation

Wrap a 10-inch (25 cm) freezer-safe bowl in plastic wrap. Scoop the vanilla ice cream into the bowl, and using a spatula smooth the ice cream to form an even layer. Freeze for 1 hour, or until frozen.

Remove the bowl from the freezer, and scoop the strawberry ice cream onto the frozen vanilla layer. Using a spatula, smooth the strawberry ice cream to form an even layer. Freeze for 1 hour, or until frozen.

After the strawberry layer is frozen, repeat with chocolate ice cream.

Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).

In a bowl, add the eggs and sugar and whisk until well combined.

Add 1 egg and mix until combined. Repeat with remaining eggs, mixing after each egg is added.

Alternate adding a little bit of flour and milk, whisking after each addition until combined. Repeat until the flour and milk have been used up. The batter should be smooth and creamy.

Add the baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.

Pour the batter into a greased and floured 10-inch (25 cm) cake tin.

Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool completely. Once cool, invert the cake onto a plate and set aside.

Bring a pan of water to a simmer over medium heat.

Place a heatproof bowl over the simmering water, and add the egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar. Whisk constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the egg white mixture is warm, about 3 minutes.

Remove the bowl from the pan. Using a hand mixer, beat the egg white mixture until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 10 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and mix until just combined.

Remove the bowl of ice cream from the freezer and gently invert it onto the cake, creating a dome shape. Remove the plastic wrap from the ice cream.

Working quickly, use a spatula to spread a layer of meringue over the entire cake and ice cream dome so that it’s fully coated.

Using a kitchen torch, brown the peaks of meringue.

Serve immediately.

Enjoy!

One word: DELICIOUS! We used swirled Neapolitan ice cream instead of layers and it was soo good! Make sure you freeze the ice cream for a long time until it’s very solid.

This recipe is awesome and I would probably make it again. But one thing you really have to b thorough with is that you really want to beat the meringue for a while. I didn’t and it did NOT end well.

This baked Alaska recipe it was amazing!!! I would recommend chilling the meringue before putting it on the cake or else the ice cream will melt. Also if you don’t like strawberry ice cream compared to the other ice cream flavors then just switch it with another flavor!! I loved this recipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The recipe for the cake was awful, it never even told you when to add the butter. My cake came out dense and not pleasing what so ever. I really hope this recipe has some revisions made.
